Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence Standard tuning

Throughout the intro you pluck like so: e|-^Dm--1---1---1---1-| B|-----3-------3---| G|-2-------2-------|

The only plucking part of the song is the intro, the rest is strumming, you'll have to listen to the song to find the rhythm. Good luck. Intro: (Start plucking on the 'G' string, and say "Hello" on the third time you pluck the 'B' string. The rest of the chords are above the corresponding syllables, just keep the plucking rhythm while you transition.)

^Dm Hello darkness my old ^Cfriend I've come to talk with you ^Dmagain Because a ^Fvision soft^Bbly creep^Fing Left his seeds while I ^Bbwas sleep^Fing And the ^Bbvision that was planted in my ^Fbrain Still remain ^Dm ^F within the ^Csound of ^Dsilence.

Verse 1:

In restless dreams I walked a^Clone Narrow streets of cobbled ^Dmstone 'Neath the ^Fhalo of ^Bba street ^Flamp I turned my collar to the ^Bbcold and ^Fdamp When my ^Bbeyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon ^Flight That split the night ^Dm ^F and touched the ^Csound of ^Dmsilence.

Verse 2:

And in the naked light I ^Csaw Ten thousand people maybe ^Dmmore People ^Ftalking with^Bbout speak^Fing People hearing with^Bbout listen^Fing People writing ^Bbsongs that voices never ^Fshare And no one dare ^Dm ^F disturb the ^Csound of ^Dmsilence

Verse 3:

Fools said I you do not ^Cknow Silence like a cancer ^Dmgrow Hear my ^Fwords that I ^Bbmight teach ^Fyou Take my arm that I ^Bbmight reach ^Fyou But my ^Bbwords like silent raindrops ^Ffell ^Dm And ^Fechoed in the ^Cwell of ^Dmsilence

Verse 4:

And the people bowed and ^Cprayed To the neon god they ^Dmmade And the ^Fsign flashed out ^Bbits warn^Fing In the words that it ^Bbwas form^Fing

And the sign said

The ^Bbwords of the prophets are written on the subway ^Fwalls And tenement halls ^Dm and ^Fwhispered in the ^Csound of ^Dmsilence

Enjoy, Todd
